Theosis, or divinization/deification is a core Orthodox doctrine. But what does it really mean? In this video, Seraphim Hamilton breaks down the significance of theosis, showing how it affects doctrines from the veneration of icons and the communion of saints to its impact on the spiritual life. Crucially, he also unpacks how theosis is woven through the narrative of Scripture. He also talks about how theosis differs from Mormon conceptions of deification. And that's not even all of it. In case it's not apparent we covered a lot of ground.
